"Deal. Don't forget your end of the bargain."
"I won't visit your set. I gave you my word."
Yolanda immediately tacked on, "And it's not just the set. If we run into each other at industry events, kindly pretend you don't know me. Thanks."
Cassius was rendered speechless.
Was he truly that humiliating to be seen with?
Meanwhile, back at the hospital.
Shortly after Yolanda and Cassius left, Lizetta couldn't help but look at Remington.
"What exactly is Cassius trying to do?"
Lizetta knew they hadn't spoken since their messy breakup.
It had clearly been over, so seeing Cassius pop back up out of nowhere, harassing Yolanda like a madman, was deeply unsettling.
Remington was sitting by the bed where Joy had finally drifted off to sleep. Noticing the boy's collar was a little tight, he gently unfastened the top two buttons before keeping his voice low.
"He genuinely cares for her. Let them figure out their own relationship; you shouldn't intervene."
Lizetta bristled. "He 'genuinely cares'? Oh, please. Does my Yolanda not deserve total, absolute devotion? Why should she settle for whatever scraps of effort he's willing to give? Does he think he's royalty?"
Seeing her temper flare, Remington immediately realized he was in danger of catching the crossfire.
Remington quickly pivoted. "You're absolutely right. I think the guy's an idiot too! He's clearly in love, regretting the breakup, and trying to win her back, but he still refuses to swallow his masculine pride. He should be learning from me—giving a hundred and twenty percent to pursue, cherish, and spoil his wife. Cassius is a lost cause."

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
